That's so cool.... I would just leave it as-is. Keep it true to its heritage, and in its original state. There is no question as to authenticity, and you really don't need some third party to tell you it's real. |

I don't believe removing the page will harm the autograph value. |

No, but it would mar the eye appeal of the book. And, by the sound of it, this chap has no intention of parting with the piece, so I say leave it be. The book has done a splendid job of protecting the signature for 64 years, so let sleeping dogs lie. It's another story should the owner wish to sell sometime down the road. |

I agree with Jodi, keep the book intact and just get a PSA or JSA letter |

I would expect the signature to sell in the neighborhood of $300. |

Absolutely agree with Jodi, don't remove the autograph and it is worth more than $300, as a dealer I would gladly pay $300 for a nice Ott. |

None of the 500 HR Club members' autographs are tough. There are tons of each out there, but lots of fakes, too. If you absolutely needed to label one of the club members as being "tough", then, yes, Ott would be your man. There are thousands of Otts out there, though. He was a wonderfully obliging signer. His widow continued his tradition of kindness to fans by sending out signatures removed from Ott's cancelled checks to fans who wrote and asked for one. |

My dad waited outside the Polo Grounds when he was a kid and got Ott to sign for him. I still have that signature, the only one I ever kept. |
